Gabriel's Promise is the 4th book in the series and probably the last , and that is why I rated it 3 stars , if you like my have read the florentine series , Gabriel and Julianne make an appearance in the book and her illness is described as something awfully , yet in this book it's just swept away , we don't see Gabriel and the Intruder talk , the book does not make sense with the timeline of the Floretine series yet it's in the same timeline ... dont get me wrong I loved reading and catching up with Gabriel and Jules , but I expected more ,I expected the Florentine series merging into the Gabriel series , just like it was done the other way , and the only thing it mentions is the intruder , and then nothing. The ending was abrupt . I hope for a book 5 , but the ending was Fin , acknowledgment and mentions a film series , such a shame.
3.5 stars just because this book had so much potential and yet... it didn't add anything to the story and it didn't feel like a book from the Gabriel's Inferno series.
This book would've been good if it wasn't for the unnecessary drama, the lack of uniqueness found in the previous books, and also... the lack of a story in itself? It felt like a short story or a companion book to the series, nothing more.
I love Gabriel and Julia and Clare and Katherine and the Clarks, but... this book wasn't it for me. Sorry.

Estive indecisa entre as 2 e as 3 ⭐.
Não é dos melhores, não gostei muito, achei até um pouco enfadonho...

Review will be up as soon as I get cleared to put it up, no spoilers of course, but it's a 5 fantastic stars!
SR I am truly honored for the privilege of reading this book so early, so thank you and Nina for the opportunity and friendship over the years. I missed Gabriel and Julia.
It’s been a while since Gabriel’s Redemption was published, but even then, I wanted more. Gabriel’s Promise is that more I wanted and much more. Gabriel and Julianne’s story has been a part of my life for a decade now. Sylvain Reynard story is one that will transcend time. Not only because the romance story behind it, but all the knowledge you get from them, you will find Dante Alighieri, Botticelli along with C.S. Lewis work within these pages. You get a music playlist that will make your emotions more real.
I have read hundreds of books since Gabriel’s Inferno, none of them have the elements I have found within the series. I suggest you read all of SR books, as you will find some connecting dots with this one.
Needless to say, this book is a must-read more than 5 stars and a series you need to have on your shelf.

The narrator, whose talents I’ve previously appreciated, did a horrendous job with Gabriel’s Promise. So much of the time it sounds like he’s whispering and his lovely deep voice just makes ALL the female characters voices cringeworthy. Even his voicing of Gabriel fell extremely short. Such a shame that he ruined this often humorous account of The Professor as a new father.

I loved the original trilogy, but this one felt so... lackluster? Essentially nothing happens, and there is little to no closure offered for the questions presented. I am assuming this is the first in a new series, but if it was going to be released as a stand-alone it should have read like one.

Sylvain Reynard is one of my must read authors. Gabriel's Promise has been a long time in the making, but worth every second of the wait.
Now, I have terrible bookzheimers, and I didn't reread the previous books prior to diving in to book 4, so it took me a while to get my head back around where there story was at, but once I did it was full steam ahead for me.
We are back with our Professor and his lovely Julianne, their growing family and the intriguing world of Dante and his Beatrice.
A little bit of mystery and drama, grumpy professors, and a whole lot of dirty, sexy times had me turning each page.
I did find the first 25% or so a little slow, and a little heavy handed on the religion stuff - that's just the athiest in me I guess! If it weren't a Sylvain / Gabriel book, I am not sure if I would have kept on reading, however I knew it would be worth it to keep going.
And ugh, Gabriel/Julia - what was with the not telling each other stuff???
I know it makes it sound like I didn't like this book, however that is not the case. Just my pet peeves showing!
What I really loved, was getting more of Paul - you know, the Angelf*&ker. I always liked him, and loved seeing his and Julia's relationship moving forward.
The ending, to me, felt a little open ended - so fingers crossed that there will be more in the future. Please let us have more.
